Patent GB-190816986-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Direct Current Electric Motors
Filed: 1908-08-12
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 16,986. Soc. Anon. Westinghouse and Brun, R. Aug. 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Distributing.-The speed of compound-wound direct-current fly-wheel motors operating winding- engines, rolling-mills, &c. is maintained constant on light loads, and is suddenly decreased when an overload occurs, by arranging an auxiliary machine in the circuit of the series winding 3 across a resistance 4 in the circuit of the motor. The invention is a modification of that described in Specification No. 4795, A.D. 1906. On light loads, the electromotive force developed in the armature 1 balances the potential drop across the resistance 4, so that little or no current flows in the series winding 3. When the load rises above that at which the field 5 becomes saturated, the balance is upset, producing an increase in the excitation of the motor 2 with a consequent decrease in its speed. In a modification, Fig. 2, the poles 7 are arranged to become saturated with a smaller current than the poles 8, the effects of the poles 7, 8 on the armature 1 neutralizing each other on light loads so that no current is generated in the armature 1. The effect of the compound windings 11, 12 is to bring about a more rapid increase in the excitation of the field 3 when an overload occurs. The machine 1 may be driven from a separate motor 13, Fig. 3, instead of from the motor 2. The series winding 15 of the motor 13 is connected in series with the armature 1 and field winding 3, the winding 15 being so arranged that when excited from the armature 1 the speed of the motor 13 is increased.

Title: Improvements in Thread Singeing Machines.
Inventor: DAVIS DAVID
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 21,425. Davis, D., and Berry, A. 0. Oct. 10. Yarns, gassingwinding-machines; stop-motions; bobbins.-Thread-singeing mechanism arranged between the swift and bobbin of a winding-machine is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The thread A from the swift e passes through a thread-guide j<2>, over a guide z, under a guide e<3>, and through a detector plate r and traverse bar f to the winding-drum i. The thread-guide x is carried by a lever w projecting downwards from a pulley y mounted on a spindle v. The upper end of a wire z is fastened to the pulley and the wire passes round the pulley and its lower free end carries a weight a<2> vertically movable in a tubular guide b<2>. If the thread slackens or breaks, the lever w is released, so that the weight a<2> falls and strikes one end of a pivoted lever f<2>, which projects into the tubular guide. As the lever f<2> tilts, its opposite end is freed from a notch in a detent arm u<2> and releases the arm. The arm is carried by the burner q<2> which has a counterweighted arm a<3> and is pivotally mounted on the supply pipe m<2>. The arrangement is such that, when the detent arm is released, the burner tilts until the flame is covered. by a shield b<3>. The attendant can then readjust the parts and reset the machine ready for starting. A stop-motion, acting when an enlargement of the thread is caught by the slit-plate detector r, has this detector pivoted at its lower end r<1> and connected by a crank to a slot in a pivoted lever n. An enlargement in the thread tilts the detector, which rocks the lever n so that its free end engages with one of the teeth k of a stop-wheel formed on the end of the bobbin i, and so stops the bobbin. The bobbin also has a projecting roller j at each end, and each bobbin is driven by a pair of wheels e mounted on the common driving-shaft d and frictionally engaging with the rollers. When the bobbin is full, an eccentrically journaled roller a<1> engages with the outermost layer of thread, and the eccentricity of the roller raises the bobbin out of contact with the driving-wheels, so that it rests in a recess c<1> in the roller.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Heating, Melting or Vaporizing Solid or only Slightly Volatile Fuels for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 21,478. Schneider, E. Oct. 10. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, vaporizing charge and cooling cylinders of. Apparatus for heating, melting, or vaporizing solid or only slightly volatile fuels is contained in the water jacket of the engine cylinder. The fuel is placed in the chamber 13 which communicates with the float chamber 15 through an orifice controlled by the valve 16. This chamber feeds the nozzle 18, to which hot air is admitted by lateral passages opening into side casings. The mixture is led to the cylinder 2 through the pipes 21, 6 and throttle 22. A furnace 10 is preferably provided, and, together with the other parts mentioned above, is enclosed in a vessel 5, 7 of water, which, on being heated by the furnace at starting, is kept hot afterwards by the explosions and serves to heat the fuel in the chamber 13. This water enables the engine to be stopped for a considerable time without being unduly cooled. The vessel 5, 7 constitutes a boiler which is provided with a safety-valve 24, the overflow steam from which passes through the cooler 32, is condensed, and returned to the part 5 or 7 by the pump 34. Regulating-valves are placed on the casings which supply hot primary and secondary air to the mixture pipe 21. With certain fuels, for example naphthalene, the valve 24 may be dispensed with, except at high altitudes. Slightlyvolatile liquid hydrocarbons, for example petroleum, may be employed. The grouping of the various parts in the case of a four-cylinder motor is shown, but this may be modified. The possibility of starting the motor without using volatile fuels eliminates the danger of fire, thereby extending the scope of the invention to use on ships.

Abstract: 18,683. Chipperfield, W. H. Feb. 14, 1910. Actuating valves.-In apparatus for supplying gas intermittently to burners for advertising and similar purposes, the gas-supply pipe is closed and opened by the rise and fall of a column of mercury &c. in a U-tube, one leg of which is open to the atmosphere, the rise and fall of the mercury being governed by the expansion and contraction of air in a chamber in the heat zone of the burner. The gas-supply pipe 8, 9, 10 has a downwardly - extending arm 11 in the leg 4 of a U-tube containing mercury &c. 5, the other arm 6 being open to the atmosphere. Sealed by the mercury is a pipe 7 connected to a chamber 1 placed above the burner 2. On expansion of the air in the chamber 1, the mercury rises in both legs of the U-tube and seals the arm 11, cutting off the gas until the temperature falls. Several burners may be controlled by providing additional arms 11 dipping into separate legs 4 of the U-tube. A tap 13 is provided for rendering the burner independent of the apparatus. Specification 30,121 /97 is referred to.
